"several viewings are unlikely to exhaust the film's possibilities - after all, there are always new treasures to be found in yesterday's discards."
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
"WALL-E and EVE project more humanity and genuine emotion than most human characters I've seen in films lately."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
B+
"Only Pixar could pull off a story about robots in love with this much success."
FromTheBalcony
Bill Clark
5/5
"
WALL*E
announces yet another massive leap in technological talent for the fabled filmmakers, a textural, tactile quality that continues to push CG 3D into uncharted artistic arenas."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
D+
"While
Wall-E
dances whimsically, it's a plodding, frighteningly hypocritical, and forbidding film that trips over its fogged intentions at every dreary turn."
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
"...[a] loud and damning indictment of consumerism."
PopMatters
Chris Barsanti
A
"Drawing on science fiction epics like
2001: A Space Odyssey
and
Star Wars
,
Wall-E
may be the first truly dystopian animated movie for kids."
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
7/10
"At last, an answer to the celebrity voicing in animated movies! No dialogue."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
4/5
"It's been such a lousy year for romantic comedies that the only engaging one features a pair of robots."
eFilmCritic.com
Dan Lybarger
5/5
"Pixar's best feature... As fresh as it is funny, as heartwarming as it is innovative."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
A+
"Who'd have thought the year's most romantic on-screen duo would be a couple of robots?"
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
2.5/4
"An original, mature and borderline-artsy family film that makes a name for itself. Like the rest of Pixar's titles, it is destined to endure for years to come."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
3/4
"WALL-E goes beyond inviting comparisons to E.T., Number 5, R2D2, even Chaplin's Little Tramp--the Waste Allocation Load Lifter relies on them, for writer-director Andrew Stanton understands this robot janitor as a study in memory and inheritance."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A
"Here I am, surprised and delighted all over again at just how well these people can tell a story."
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
4/4
"Not since Titanic will you have heard two prospective partners cry out each other's names with as much longing (and frequency) and if there's any karma, fate, or pure love out there to believe in than WALL-E will equal its attendance and then some."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
A-
"The fact that Wall-E's not merely adorable, but central to a serious, thoughtful, adult story is still another illustration of Pixar's downright heroic commitment to the craft."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
4/4
"Reminds me the animation art form is capable of much more than talking animals, and fairy tale characters..."
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
3.5/4
"Triumphant and teary-eyed,
WALL-E
withstands its mellifluous moments with a welcomed surge of honesty, impishness and introspection...smart, heart-warming and savvy in its observational radar."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
B-
"Pleasant enough--and certainly pretty enough--to serve: a lesser Pixar effort, but one that most viewers, young and old, will enjoy if not be transported by."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
5/5
"The tender and touching story of a lonely robot on Earth who falls in love and becomes a spiritual teacher to all who encounter him."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A
"A strictly environmentalist reading of Pixar's latest is too easy."
Cinepinion
Henry Stewart
3.5/4
"Put simply,
WALL-E
is about as charming as movies get."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/4
"so thoroughly embodies the greatest pleasures the movies have to offer that it goes directly into the sublime"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/5
"Too many kid's movies are created to give kids things to buy; WALL-E is a kid's movie that might, perhaps, give you and your kids pause to think about what things truly cost."
Cinematical
James Rocchi
10/10
"Click here to read review"
vj.net.ua
Jaroslav Vishtaljuk
3.5/4
"Beautifully executed with a wink and a nudge, this one has heart."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
10/10
"It wouldn't be a stretch to call the movie pitch perfect."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
8/10
"A highly entertaining and emotionally satisfying film that will play equally well to adults, and maybe even more so than with kids."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
"The movie is so engaging that it just moves along and speech isn't needed."
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
4.5/5
"Sentient with sentiment. Please read review."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
3.0/4.0
"... for every plot revelation reinforcing the predicament of WALL-E, the story moves farther from him/it as a strong central character... nevertheless a positive (theme)..."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
A+
"As perfect as a movie can be."
Film School Rejects
Kevin Carr
4/4
"This love story moved me more than any other in years."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
B
"As long as we have WALL*E's point of view on earth, the film is simply great, but whenhe movies into outer space and the Axiom, the missed opportunities are immeasurable."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2/3
"Una fábula sobre [..] el mundo antinatural que creamos, lleno de máquinas a nuestro servicio. Curiosa moral para una película hecha por ordenador."
Off-Off-Critica
MalaBesta
8/10
"It is all about some serious problems our world is facing. Under the laughs and the humanized robots this is a serious science fiction film and well above average for the genre."
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
"
Wall-E
is art. Hell, it's philosophy -- it's practically religion."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/4
"I think
Wall-E
is a masterpiece. The folks at Pixar never rest on their laurels. They continue to push the limits of both computer animation and the storytelling possibilities that accompany it."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A-
"Like the humble little hero of this film, Pixar holds onto its dreams. If that makes the films more challenging, less easily accessible, good for them and good for us, too."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
A-
"More impressive than its ecologically minded message is its modestly profound portrait of loneliness, obligation and the desire for reciprocated affection."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
5/5
"Uma espécie de mistura perfeita de Chaplin, Kubrick e Disney."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4.5/5
"Visually dazzling and possessing wit and emotion 99 percent of movies with real-life actors can’t hope to achieve."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
5/5
"As horrible, wretched, infantile, disgusting and flat-out lousy as "The Love Guru" is, that is how wonderful "WALL*E" is."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
5/5
"This endearing post-apocalyptic romantic adventure never puts a foot wrong."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
5/5
"I don't know if it's a masterpiece; what I do know is that it is perfection."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
A+
"Not only does it provide further proof of Pixar's unprecedented brilliance, but it may have actually elevated their game to a whole new level."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
B
"A nice little romantic film about the transformational power of love."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A-
"
WALL*E
, an animated robot love story with an environmental message and a slapstick delivery, is a charmer of a film and a delightful piece of storytelling."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
5/5
"How much further will they be able to raise the storytelling bar? And how on Earth will I pass the time until Pixar's next endeavor,
Up
, arrives in theaters to charm, amaze, and enthrall us, as the studio has done time after time?"
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
"The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product."
